This home is your everything- a refuge, a family center, a workplace, an entertaining mecca. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this lovely 5,500+ square foot, stone and stucco custom home was re-built in 2001. It is sited on just under a 1-acre lot with mature plantings, patio, and a wonderful garden with bricked paths. These features provide perfect spaces for quiet respite and entertaining. As you enter the handicapped-accessible 1st floor into the enclosed two-story, porcelain marble-floored foyer, you will be captured by the tiled solarium which houses an indoor endless exercise pool surrounded by the adjacent library/office’s floor-to-ceiling windows. To the right is access to the over-sized, 2-car garage. The solarium’s pool with full bath changing room is for fun and exercise and its huge window wall looks out to the beautiful grounds outside. The first floor also features an amazingly comfortable living room with gas fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, and a door to the powder room. Beyond the living room is the dining room with an exceptionally large window looking out to the gardens and glass French doors to the solarium and pool. Next to the dining room is a wonderful chef’s kitchen with granite countertops, gas cook top, subzero refrigerator, breakfast bar, door to outside patio and more. There is a large eating area within the kitchen and immediately next to that, a cozy gathering area for TV and relaxing between courses with floors done in beautiful and easily cleaned Brazilian cherry ceramic. There is a butler’s pantry for storage, an extra double sink, refrigerator, ovens, and dish washer. Off the kitchen is a hall that houses the first master bedroom or guest suite with large windows, great views outside, large walk-in closet, and an updated ample-sized tile bathroom with wheelchair accessible shower and jacuzzi tub. The 2nd floor has 3/4 bedrooms all sharing a wonderful gathering room with fireplace. The oversized second master bedroom with walls of windows overlooking the outside has space for a sitting area and office. It has an amazing tile bathroom with his/her’s water closets, his and her’s showers, a large jacuzzi tub, 2 large walk-in closets, and a laundry room. The other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The fourth bedroom is now an Art/Exercise/Office with its own powder room. It has a raised ceiling with 2 skylights, a bank of stainless-steel sinks, and walk-in closets. There are backstairs down to the atrium pool room and egress to the outside. The house is always cozy because heat delivery to the entire 1st and 2nd floors is accomplished via floored radiant heat. It stays cozy during power outages via its whole-house generator backup system with automatic transfer. Too, the house comes with a whole house water filter system as well as a whole house fire suppression system. The basement is waiting for your touches and has a separate entrance. It, too, has AC. This property is located along the I-95 and I-476 corridors with a short drive to Philadelphia and the airport. It is only a short distance from public transportation, award winning Wallingford-Swarthmore schools, library, local shops, and restaurants. This is truly a must-see!!!
